Revitalizing Smiles: Homeopathy for Oral Lichen Planus
A young man aged 40 years named Mr DZX (Patient ID: 51908) on July 6, 2023, contacted the Life Force team for online consultation for the treatment of Oral Lichen planus, from which he had been suffering since the previous month. He had white lacy lesions inside the cheeks and a burning feeling, which caused discomfort while eating. The burning pain on eating was severe even with slightly spicy food.
He had a history of steroidal use since he was diagnosed but was searching for some better treatment options that would help him in the long run; henceforth he started exploring holistic treatments, which will help him to lessen the dependency on steroids.
He had been experiencing a highly stressful period at work, which has disrupted his eating and sleep patterns, contributing to his symptoms of Oral Lichen planus. Naturally anxious, he often worried that his condition could progress to oral cancer, a common concern among those with oral lichen planus conditions. He also suffered from other health issues like acidity and constipation which were worse because of his eating habits and the demands of his demanding work.
After careful study and analysis of the case, Dr Shah prescribed him the remedy Carcinosinum-30 and recommended certain dietary and lifestyle changes, such as yoga and other stress-relieving and management exercises, to help him deal with his daily stress and also help in healing Lichen Planus along with homeopathic medication.
He was also recommended some blood tests to rule out deficiencies and to check for any hormone disturbances to help the disease recover.
Follow-ups:
During a follow-up visit on August 23, 2023, he reported that the burning and discomfort had decreased by 10% to 15% and that the roughness in his mouth was progressively going away. By then, he had already quit taking steroidal ointments and was still feeling better without them. Because he had started doing yoga and breathing exercises every day and had made the suggested nutritional changes, there were also noticeable improvements in his bowel motions. He was given prescription for eight more weeks.
In subsequent follow-ups over the next 6-7 months, he achieved complete relief, allowing him to lead a normal life. He could enjoy and tolerate spicy foods with no pain or discomfort, and he managed his stress more effectively, embracing a healthier lifestyle.
Conclusion:
This case is an excellent example of how homeopathy can aid in healing challenging conditions like lichen planus. It offers hope to those who feel anxious and uncertain about their condition, helping them find mental calm and significant improvement by remarkably addressing the disease.
